Bersih 5 rally to go on as planned

The Bersih 5 rally will proceed as planned on Nov 19 said the electoral reform group despite warning from the police that the organisers call off the event.

In a statement released today, Bersih said they have played by the rules, reiterating that the required 10-day notice of the event was submitted by hand to police on Oct 28, with more than 10 days to spare.

“Bersih 2.0 will proceed with the peaceful assembly. We will gather at Dataran Maybank and Masjid Negara at 10am before proceeding to Dataran Merdeka.

“There will be no change in venue as well, we will be in the vicinity of Dataran Merdeka.”

Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar had said that although the electoral watchdog had sent its notices to the police, it still has not obtained a consent letter from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), one of the mandatory prerequisites under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.

Which part of the red shirts are fully funded by UMNO don’t you understand? They must be part of the plan otherwise they wouldn’t last ten minutes. The play acting by the police to catch and let go to continue whatever criminal intimidation by these mercenaries is a cheap ploy to fool the ignorant. The police more than stop them, stop the movement for free and fair elections. How stupid is that, and they use excuses that won’t convince preschoolers.
